This is my first game on MakeCode Arcade. It’s a difficult platformer I’m making for school, meaning that this will be finished preferably in April or May. I want some opinions and some suggestions for it
This is actually so good!! I will 100% be playing the rest of the levels later! I wonder if you could make it visually a bit clearer where the hitbox of those spikes is? They look very chunky, but the hitbox is obviously quite a bit smaller than the whole spike. Aside from that it feels absolutely amazing to play so far, and while I can’t really speak for art, it’s definitely pretty good. I suppose the black areas could be a bit less… busy? They kinda have a lot of information stuffed into them that might not be necessary? Just something to think about I guess.

Wait… this is ur FIRST game on Makecode? I’ve been here for YEARS and I can’t do that!
Since I found out that the Menu that pops up in the menu button can actually be replaced by a custom one, I can implement a showhitbox for the B button instead and put the camera mode into the menu instead if that helps

This is fascinating for your first Makecode game! I’m in the same boat as you, making a difficult Platformer game but.. mine is more based around enemies then yours. You seem to aim for more environmental hazards in your game, which is nice! (Reminds me of Super Meat Boy in a way.) I like how you made if double jump is ready or not depending if the character is darker or not. The artstyle is simple, gravity is nice, but I guess you could do something other than a camera view for the B button, but you don’t have to do that! And maybe make the spike sprite more accurate to its hitbox..? But overall, it’s great!
